Hi,My lo has been in our bed since a baby he's 15 months now. I intend to do it til he's old enough to understand he'll have his own room and be a big boy. I'm in no rush, makes no difference to any of us.

I co sleep now, and will continue to do so until she's no longer waking for food in the night. I BF so just find it a lot easier having her there rather than having to get up and get her from her cot. Both my boys co slept and were in their own beds by the time they were a year old. Hope this helps! x

We co sleep but only when we can't get him to sleep in his crib, which is every night for most of the night!! We're trying to establish a bedtime routine and for the last 2 nights have just let him scream for awhile and eventually he drifts off. If only for an hour, its progress. Before then we'd always have picked him up before he had the chance to settle himself.

I don't know how long we will co sleep for or how we will get him into a cot or his own room if it carries on but my main concern is one of us squashing him in the night?! I hardly sleep when he's in with us for fear of it. How does everyone manage this?

Goonie i use rolled up blankets on either side of Bella, but to be honest she normally ends up really close to me, as i latch her on for a feed then dose off! Neither of us have ever rolled on her, but i must admit i don't sleep particularly deeply these days! You can buy baby nests that are designed for co sleeping if you're worried. I do have one but found it more of a pain as i couldnt find her in the night when she started to whinge, and would end up having to sit up, turn the light on and wake us all up to get her out of it to feed her! Now all i have to do is move the blanket out of the way which is much easier for all of us x

Thanks Lynz, I seem to stay so still when Wills is in bed with us but my hubby mistakenly mentioned it to our health visitor and obviously she was horrified and its been on my mind since. If its the only way he will sleep I don't know what they expect me to do! x
